Otherwise Death Knights have performed solidly with one spec or the other throughout the expansion, not the top DPS but capable. They are usable for meaningful heroic progression, however they are falling behind when everyone catches up in gear. This is largely because at the end of expansions Blizzard tends to do this, they'll buff previously borderline unplayable specs once it no longer really matters and generally just leave everything else as it was - unless it stagnates to the point of no longer being worth using, you can embrace your low numbers until the pre-expansion patch, where everything will be thrown into disarray again.
